I purchased this product at Cosmoprof because I was searching for a great product to relieve dry scalp for my man. He has thick curly beautiful hair but products dry his scalp up so I needed something to get his scalp free of product buildup and flakes. I found this product and it was fairly inexpensive. When I got home I had him use it, but I made sure he let it sit just for a minute before massaging it in with the pads of his fingers. It has a minty medicated smell but it isn't over powering. I also used it on myself to really clear out all of my hairspray buildup and it feels very cooling on your head. When my guy washed it out his head was almost free of flakes. You def need to use it a couple times a week to fully get all of your flakes and dryness taken care of. Its a great product and he loves it. Couldn't be happier!
